It will take some discipline, but just continue to try and vape vs smoke and eventually you will find that a cig just taste nasty.
I would recommend maybe having a higher nic level juice around for those real bad cravings as well.
If you could provide some information about what you're using (device, atty/carto/clearo, ohm's, juice mixture and nic content, ect.) I am sure you will get some better, more appropriate, advice.

Welcome to ECF, John! It's all about finding a liquid and a nic level that suits you. What setup and liquids are you using?
Hello and welcome!
Just do what feels good for you. If that means having a couple of ciggs a day, then so be it. Don't worry, it will come naturally.

Hi John. Welcome. I agree with the posters above. I have been analog free for 2 years and the easiest thing that got me through was a higher nic juice. Ive gradually come down from 24mg to 8-12mg depending on the juice. Like DCB said, eventually you will find that regular cigs just dont taste as good as vaping
Hello all, I am Brandi. I have been analog free for 8 weeks now thanks to vaping. I started with a Cig2o and now I am using an Ego T. I get most of my supplies and juice from The Vapor Room in Md. I started vaping, because my son has begged me for a long time now to quit smoking, and I had another bout of pneumonia and when I went in for x-rays they showed me the large dark spot in my right lung. I feel 10 times better and there are tons of things that I can do now. I am looking forward to meeting new people in my area and getting to know some vapers, maybe they can teach me a thing or two.
Hi and welcome John! Congrats on the progress you've made so far! As far as getting the rest of the way goes, I might also ask if there is any commonality or pattern to those 8 that you find a hard time letting go of? Is something in particular preventing you from using your PV instead of picking up an analog?
Also, and you may already do this, but the biggest thing that helped me was forcing myself to start the day with vaping. If i started that way, even though it took forever to get my early morning fix, I could push myself better to stick with it and keep with it for the whole day and finish out analog free. It helped me stay in the habit more.
No matter what may be keeping you holding on to those last 8, be extremely proud of yourself. You have made such progress and cutting back that much is so very hard, and you will get there. =)

The first day I got my Riva 510, I went from a PAD to three analogs. I continued on exactly that course for another two weeks, until I realized that with just a little push from myself, I could give up my post-dinner analog. I chain vaped at the highest strength I had until the urge passed, and it wasn't fun per se, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. That success made me feel so good, that I decided to try to go the next day with no analogs. I failed almost immediately when I had my morning cup of coffee with my boyfriend smoking by the window. BUT the next day, I tried again and succeeded. And now it's been three weeks with no analogs. Sometimes I still want a cigarette, but I just reach for my Riva, and the urge passes after a few minutes. If I do give in, it won't be the end of the world, either. I know that it's just my brain switching habits, and my body wanting that instant fix, as opposed to taking a few minutes for vaping to kick the urge.
I think the trick is to be easy on yourself, but also, give yourself a very small push once in a while. And all the advice about getting the right nic strength and a flavor you like is so true. I spent a few days at 16 mg, before I realized that I was niccing out a little all day long. Your body is going through so many changes at first, that it can be hard to trouble shoot. At one point, I thought my anxiety was from having too much nic, when it was actually caused by too little!
